Odette, Empress of France

Odette (Odette Marinette Othello Marie Louise Bourbon-Bonaparte-Irene Aquitania; 15 November 1845 – 24 May 1866) was a member of the House of Bourbon-Bonaparte-Irene-Aquitania, and the House of Orléans through marriage to Louis d'Orléans, Prince of Condé. Her father was deemed not suitable to lead the French Empire, with Odette being chosen to ascend to the throne—her cunning nature and deception helped her to defeat her enemies in battle—the only female ruler of France, she is also one of the most ruthless leaders having her enemies slaughtered by the thousands in order to protect her people from harm. She was the first of a line of female Empresses who would rule over France in the coming decades—males became excluded from the line of succession, making her one of the most progressive and equality-based leaders of that period of history. Her two children, Isabella Dauphine of France and Mirajane, Fille de France—became her heir apparent and heir presumptive subsequently the moment that they were brought in the world—both of them married Grand Dukes of the Russian Empire which forged a strong alliance between the French Empire and the Russian Empire.

Early Life
Odette Marinette Othello was born on 15 November 1845 at Tuileries Palace, Paris, in the French Empire to Emperor Napoleon II, and his Empress consort, Marie Louise. Raised underneath a strict set of rules, she was eventually crowned as the heir presumptive after her mother was found to be incapable of bearing more children, as she had been found to have hemophilia—from a young age, her more wilder tendencies were monitored quite closely to ensure that she didn`t have hemophilia—she never contracted the disease much to the relief of the general public—if she had inherited the disease, France would have lost it`s only heir. Her father`s cousin was named as the heir apparent, with Odette remaining as the heir presumptive—her father`s cousin was later assassinated with her father being deemed incapable of ruling due to his deteoriating mental state—the French Imperial Court named Odette as the new monarch of the French on 15 November 1856, with her being crowned on 15 November 1857, the following year.

Beginning of Rule
During the beginning half of her rule, the people of France rebelled against her rule, calling her a "scourge"—her tendency to shy away from wars made the rulers of her allies call her "disrespectful" and "damning"—this opinion changed after she ruthlessely had an Russian battleship seeking to do battle with the French Empire, that sailed in too close to French ports blown sky-high. These aggressive actions caught the attention of Queen Victoria, who called Odette`s ruthless actions, "cruel" and "unusual punishment"—in comparison the Russians were notably intrigued about the mysterious identity of the French Empress—as she was the eldest child of Marie Louise (Duchess of Irene)—a native of the Irene Empire, she was also considered a member of their Imperial Family elevating her even further in rank among the Imperial House of Irene-Aquitania.
